This year has been particularly challenging for the British royal family. The news of both King Charles and Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnoses has deeply impacted the family and the general public.
Although several months have passed since these revelations, shock and uncertainty still linger for many.
Despite the public image of strength and unity, emotions within the palace have not been without turbulence.
Recently, details have emerged about Prince William’s reaction to learning of Kate’s cancer.
The information, although not officially confirmed, has generated speculation about the personal impact this news has had on the prince.
Prince William’s reaction to Kate Middleton’s cancer
The news of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis has shocked the world, and the unconditional support of her husband, Prince William, has been evident.
According to renowned royal author Robert Jobson, the news hit the prince hard. “It was devastating for him,” Jobson told Us Weekly.
In a video posted on March 22, the Princess of Wales revealed to the world her diagnosis and shared that she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
The news came shortly after William’s father, King Charles, shared his own cancer diagnosis in February.
Jobson, whose book “Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen” was released this week, describes Prince William’s immediate reaction.
The heir to the throne immediately felt “a lump in [his] throat,” which was followed by “the empty feeling in his stomach” after Kate shared the news globally.
Since the start of the year, Kate Middleton has made only two public appearances amid her cancer treatment.
The first was in June during Trooping the Colour, and the second at Wimbledon. Despite rumors pointing to her attendance at the Paris Olympics to support British athletes, there is still no official confirmation about her trip to France.
For the time being, the princess continues with her medical treatment and is expected to travel to Balmoral to join the British royal family’s summer vacation.
Kate Middleton’s fight against cancer has been a challenge for her and her family, but the strength of the Princess of Wales and the unconditional support of her husband, Prince William, give her the necessary strength to face this hard moment.
